(24.Juni) Q: There has been criticism that this is a political action, not a humanitarian one. Can you explain what the goals of this flotilla are?

A: This is a nonviolent political action aimed at bringing attention to the blockade. We must remember that it is these conditions that will lead us to another circle of war within a month, a year or two years from now. So why not do whatever we can, make every effort possible, to change the reality, save lives and avoid another war? This is my intention, and I think I am doing my duty as an elected representative in Israel.
